This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
“This isn't to say I condone illegal substance use ...because Denver is decriminalising it... So do the mental prep-work (whether that's weeks or years), go to Denver, and allow yourself the opportunity to engage in a responsible psilocybin mushroom session.”
“I think everyone should take some time every day to do nothing. Just like sit and stare at a wall or close your eyes and just exist for a bit.”
“I think everyone should drink more water, walk more, pet a dog, and use your phone less.”
“When you dump water out of a bottle you can do a little swirl with your hand and then it makes a little whirlpool inside and the water comes out faster.”
“You gotta break out of your conditioning. Try doing or learning something new - start right now. Like, today.”
“I try to always bring my own reusable utensils and grocery bag and skip the straw when ordering a drink.”
“Start doing things you are not naturally good or talented at but have always wanted to do. Allow yourself to do the thing badly without any self judgement and repeat when you feel up to it.”
“Spend an hour or two after you wake up with no internet. Do anything, even just sit there thinking with coffee or tea. Talk to your partner, talk to your dog, talk to your lizard, exercise, play guitar, paint, who cares what it is just no internet for an hour or two.”
“Nothing makes the outside World so obviously ineffective and inconsequential or more rapidly renders ideas of separation delusional as having the courage to really look into someone else’s eyes. So my recommendation, amongst the pantheon of ‘anything’, has to be eye contact.”
“I think creating stuff is always pretty rewarding, be it a song or some writing or anything. I need to do more these days to be honest.”
“Walk more often, alone. Go on a trip with your loved one(s) and don’t take your laptop with you. Breathe deep, acknowledge this is now and that it will not last forever.”
“It's been so fun bringing the tradition of pasta making back into my life and bringing friends and friends' kids into the tradition. I find the intricacies of the ritual really beautiful - the volcano well of semolina flour with the eggs at the center, the different settings on the crank, laying the pasta threads out to dry over every chair in the house. And of course, it's so ridiculously delicious.”
